Although patients with this the logopenic variant of PPA are still able to produce speech, their speech rate may be significantly slowed down due to word retrieval difficulty.[3] Over time, they may experience the inability to retain lengthy information, causing problems with understanding complex verbal information.[4]

A distinguishing symptom is a repetition of spared and impaired language processes seen in logopenic patients in comparison to patients suffering from other forms of progressive aphasia. Difficult in naming and repeating in motor speech, semantic, and syntactic abilities is one such specific challenge faced by patients of this disorder.
